water? Help smart people!!!!

Answer 1

Hi there!

Your answer is:

It will take 171 minutes and approximately 43 seconds to use 400 and 2/3rds gallons of water! If you need it in decimal format, your answer is 171.71!

Explanation:

2 & 1/3 gals per 1 minute

Divide by 2 & 1/3 to determine mins per 1 gal

1gal per 3/7ths of a minute

× 400 & 2/3

400 & 2/3 gals per 171 & 5/7ths minutes

I hope this makes sense!
